Goatsbridge Trout Farm

Thomastown, Co Kilkenny.

Mags and Ger Kirwan are the custodians of a terrific heritage. Their Goatsbridge Trout Farm is located on the River Little Arrigle, which has been fished intermittently since the twelfth century! Today, their premium product is on the menus in many of the greatest Irish restaurants and their hot smoked trout is among the favourite staples on Irish dinner tables. We visit this passionate duo at the farm outside Thomastown in Kilkenny and are enthralled by their knowledge, enthusiasm and connection to the land on which they live and work. The Kirwans are fiercely passionate and determined operators, they know the value of the provenance of their product and are fully immersed in the history and hard work that is their heritage and that is why there are members of Good Food Ireland.
